Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 11/12/2024	This class was overall good. He's super passionate about what he teaches. The slides do have a ton of content on them and a lot to take notes on so take pictures of them. There were some weekly quizzes online but then stopped as you got to the middle of the semester. The midterm was in person, I personally thought I didn't do great on it but he gave me a good grade. He's pretty fair with grading. There's some weekly assessments it's just like three questions on the current topics. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK, you don't need it. You don't really need to read the readings, there's no assignments for them.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 08/25/2024	This class was taught by both Dr. Jason Nichols and Dr. Shane Walsh, so this review is for them both. It's a really easy and informative class that fills 3 gen-eds. The guest speakers were interesting and I enjoyed the class discussions. The workload was very light; 3 quizzes, 2 writing assignments, and a final project. The quizzes all had either no time limit or 2 attempts. You should get a high grade on the writing assignments and final project as long as you put some effort into it. All assignments except for the final seemed to have flexible due dates as long as you asked the professors for an extension. I liked this class and the movie connected to the themes we discussed.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/10/2024	Pretty easy class and has some interesting info. However, as others have mentioned there is no feedback at all on any of the essays you write, and Im not sure if this is true but all of the essays the high was 94, he might not give any scores higher than that on essays. Additionally, the quizzes will have some free response questions, which are graded the same way as the essays. For example on the first quiz there was a question that asked you to introduce yourself and answer some questions, and I got points off on that question, and Im not sure why. But if you get past that the class has almost no downside to it.
Shane Walsh Expecting an A Anonymous 05/01/2024	I'm going to start by saying this was an incredibly easy course and it had virtually no work for it. If you are someone who is just looking for a Gen Ed this fulfills three and does not require attendance which is the only reason I gave it two redeeming stars. As for the professor he doesn't teach in class it's more of a big discussion which would be great if there was even an ounce of the structure included in anything. There is so much information in each class that you don't retain anything and he goes on a tangent every moment he gets which makes each lecture completely lose any meaning. There are only four graded assignments including two tests near the beginning of the course that are based on VERY long boring texts. You don't need to read but will need to skim until you find the answers. You also might need to scour through the modules to find a text that is loosely based on one of the questions and sort of guess from there. There is no real lecture or PowerPoint or anything to reference back to and the tests are not related to anything solid that we did in class. It also took almost the whole semester for both of those tests to be graded and by that time we moved on to our third assignment which was a short essay on the racial frame. This was fine however we never actually talked about what that meant or how to write the essay and the assignment was listed in a questionnaire response format but no real instruction on how to frame anything or any examples was given. As for the final, it's currently less than two weeks till the deadline and we have hardly spoken about it the Canvas assignment has virtually no solid information or rubric to go off of. Other people seem to have had a lot more of a structured class so maybe it was just this section as they added almost double the seats this semester so take this with a grain of salt.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/30/2023	TAKE TAKE TAKE this class for a gen ed or elective. EASY A!!!! It meets once a week for 2.5 hours but the entire time is watching a movie/videos and having a discussion. There were a couple quizzes online at home based on readings and two papers but they were only 1 page each and the quizzes weren't hard. You also get plenty of time to complete them. The final exam was just a powerpoint presentation where you pick any topic you want that was covered in class and make a presentation on it. You don't have to present it just do a voice recording that has to be 10 minutes long. There is also a participation grade that was basically breaking into small groups and you wrote ur name on a paper to show that you were there, but you don't know which class it'll be in so you need to go to them all. However, the classes were very interesting to hear them talk about different topics so you wouldn't want to skip anyways. TAKE THIS CLASS
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/22/2023	I took this class as a gen ed. It's a really easy class, only a midterm and a final. There were weekly quizzes (not in class, online usually due by Sunday) but they stopped about halfway through the semester, not sure why. He is a little slow with grading, but he's extremely fair and generous. The only thing I would say is to make sure you go to class because he doesn't post slides. The slides do have a lot of information, but I just take pictures of them and type them up after class.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/06/2023	Pretty easy gen ed class and a decent professor. This course shouldn't take too much of your time. However, I am not a big of a fan of his lecturing method in class. He often zips by lecture slides pretty fast that you barely have any time to write down notes or even pay attention to what he's saying before moving on, so I just resorted to taking pictures of the slides in class. Professor Walsh is very understanding though.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 02/20/2023	I had down syndrome, but this course was very easy.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/21/2023	I took him to get a GEN ED credit, trust me I only went to lecture about 5 times in total and I ended up with an A. I am not advising you to miss most of the semester but he is just a very great professor. Every time I attended his lecture he was very passionate about what he thought and if you need a history credit don't shy from taking this class with him. The semester I took him he had only 1 in-person quiz the rest I mean everything else was done online. When it comes to the class very easy class if you do pay attention and go to class but if not then everything is online/open-book so yea.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 08/23/2022	I took this class as an international student, which gave me a large amount of information about the segregation and inequality in the U.S from the Black people's side. Furthermore, the professor is extremely structured and well-formate with the lecture and flexible with the due date. I highly recommend this course and professor if you prefer to understand the social problem from another angle or fulfill the degree requirement with a meaningful A.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/08/2022	I took this class with both Dr. Walsh and Dr. Nichols. They are both pretty chill and funny and Dr. Walsh is very intelligent and super passionate about this topic, so he likes to go off sometimes, but it still connects to the information. Between Dr. Walsh and Dr. Nichols, Dr. Walsh seemed a lot more professional and structured throughout the course. The class is super chill, it's an open dialogue where anybody can speak or because we had 100+ people on zoom this semester, you can get away with lurking and only listening. We watched the Get Out movie in this class and wrote two essays on it. However, the only other grades in the courses are 5 quizzes and 3 more essays which are not directly on the movie but rather, on race issues, and black history in general. It takes VERY long to get grades back, however, and there is little to no feedback on the essays throughout the course.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/05/2022	Dr. Walsh is well overqualified to teach this class. He's super passionate about this topic, so he likes to go off sometimes, but it still connects to the information on the PowerPoint and honestly helps me remember everything. The class is super chill, you just have to pay attention and mark down a couple key facts about each main person he goes over. This class does have like five graded assignments besides the final, so just make sure you do well with them. A couple of them are essays, but they are definitely manageable. Overall, pretty good class.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/08/2021	He was a really nice Professor and very understanding too. I have ADHD to sometime it made paying attention a little hard but thankfully he was very understanding as well. His lecture for my class were Mondays through videos and the rest of the class was through zoom so it was pretty nice. But as long as you watch the lecture you'll be ok with the weekly assignment and heads up the essays were 1,000 words for my class but he gave us time just make sure you start early.
Shane Walsh AASP100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 08/22/2020	Dr. Walsh is very passionate about African American History and is very qualifed to teach the subject. However, he tells you to purchase a $90 book, but it isn't required to do well in the class. The class has very few assignments so be sure to do well on them.
